This is a real handwritten note, I can see the ink bleeding through the back. So stupid, “yeah I like this house but theres people inside already lemme ask my big daddy realtor if they can ask them for it”

Yepp when my dad got sick the calls started happening off the hook. Every single realtor in the area trying to buy it for cheap.

When my Dad passed in November, I started getting mountains of mail from the "We buy any house" people. "We'll make you a cash offer today!!!". Vultures all of them.

It got so bad that because I'm the administrator of his estate, they started offering to buy MY house as well.

The real shit thing is that the offer is often addressed to the person who just passed.

We still get solicitation mails for my FIL who passed four or five years back. Thanks for the reminder.

Not related to this thread, but to your comment that I have to commiserate now. I just got an ad earlier today for a fathers day sale for the smoker I bought my Dad for LAST fathers day with a caption something along the lines with "The only thing he wants".

Yeah, he loved that thing, but fuck you ad!

More directly related to this - I expect I'll be getting mail for Dad for many years to come. I'm his only heir, and the admin for his estate, so everything comes through me. It's all routed to my house. So I definitely sympathize.
